Viplav Sharma vs Union Of India & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of the de-notification process of Deemed Universities as per the recommendations of the Prof. Tandon report, emphasizing that the procedures outlined in the UGC Act and the 2008 and 2010 Regulations were not adhered to. The Court noted that the UGC had previously evaluated the institutions and found only two lacking necessary requirements for de-notification. The Court held that the UGC should reassess the situation without being influenced by the Tandon Committee's findings, ensuring compliance with statutory requirements under relevant acts.
